121 The discovery of an immense quantity of contemporary documents,
since Roosevelt's The Winning of the West was written, betrays the
numerous inaccuracies of that fascinating work, as well as the imperfect
perspective in the picture of the westward expansionist movement. Mr.
Roosevelt's virile apotheosis of the strenuous pioneer seems today
almost as old-fashioned in its method and outlook as is Draper's work on
King's Mountain.
